DAY TWENTY-NINE

Blarrrrrgh I’m itchy again. I’d say it’s at about 40% of the itch I had in April, but annoying nonetheless. It’s disappointing that I’m at the month mark and despite being one of the so-called ‘overnight successes’ of Dr Aron’s treatment, I’ve gone backwards into flare for two weeks of the four and am still on 5 apps a day.
I’ve been instructed to go back to calamine lotion before each application of cream by Dr Aron; he also said I could drop down to 4 apps a day if I wanted to but I really don’t feel like my skin would cope with any less. I’ve ordered a new pot of cream as I will probably run out in the next week or so, and it’ll be bloody annoying if he decides after this week that the best thing to do is to change my compound!
I’ve been much better with resisting “bad” foods and drinks, and have a more accurate view of which things I am safe consume and which I need to avoid, even though I keep forgetting to do my food diary.
My stomach and chest are looking great again but arms, lower back and legs still a bit rubbish. Dare I say the centre of my forehead seems like it might be on the mend? Hopefully this doesn’t mean my monobrow will grow back before my actual eyebrows…
And calamine makes me look a bit like a leper.

Also, I’ve got a weird patch of bumps on my collarbone that appeared within 2 minutes:

Buuuut I’m looking on the bright side and feeling happy for the fact that washing is still painless and my sleep is mostly undisturbed 🙂 I keep getting pangs of worry when I wonder whether maybe I’m the only one this treatment won’t work for. I know I’m being stupid and this is a long-term process but arghhhhhhhhhhhhh.
